Emma and Terence McGuinness are in a bitter court battle and have claimed to be "shunned and ostracised" and frozen out of the local wine society in Oxshott, Surrey, by well-to-do "nimby" neighbours. Figure skater turned yoga teacher Mrs McGuinness, 41, and her husband, 45, a boss at a catering company, say they want to create a second home alongside their house so they can take care of her poorly father. The couple claim the dispute has divided their community where homes can sell for more than £2m. They say they've "lost touch" with some of their community and Mrs McGuinness is no longer taking part in the "wine society" chats or summer picnics. The couple is being sued by the owner of the private roads accessing the estate - Ridgeway (Oxshott) Management Ltd - which is seeking an injunction banning them from using their roads to carry out the build. The company - whose directors and shareholders are made up of neighbours on the estate - says conditions of sale and access rights restrict owners to "one plot one house" and that a two-house building project would cause too much disruption. Mr and Mrs McGuinness want the case against them thrown out and are now awaiting judgment after a trial at the Central London County Court. Judge Simon Monty heard the couple already have planning permission to level their existing four-bed family home - which is valued online at around £1.5m - and substitute two new homes. They say their plans are not about making money, but to ensure that Mrs McGuinness' frail father can live beside them, where they can look after him.
